In this episode we discuss the book "From Trial to Triumph" where author, Melissa January, shares her experiences with domestic violence.  This is our first author interview held during the Books and Bubbles book club discussion.  If you have never experienced a book club, you are in for an exciting experience as we dive into the book and get some really great responses from the author.  Enjoy! 

In this episode we discuss the various forms of reading books, e-readers vs. audible.  I discuss my favorite method and the book by Daaimah Poole, "Another Man Will."  Find out how I stumbled on this author who has now been added to my list of authors to read.

This is one of the first "Did You Know" episodes, where we take a look at those who we enjoy in the capacity of entertainers, politicians, actors, comedians, etc., but we can also add the title of author to their names.  In this episode, we take a look at the rapper, producer, actor, businessman, and, unknown to many, author...50 Cent and his collaboration with author Nikki Turner in the novel entitled Death Before Dishonor.  The novel is a look into the lives of three characters, Trill, Sunni and Precious and how they deal with death and dishonor in the drug world.  

This episode is the first to be aired on Youtube under Reading to Feed the Mind.
